Big opportunity alert, ARA Executive Members! 📢

We're building something brand new: a Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Committee, and this is your chance to help shape it from the ground up.

Right now, ARA doesn't have a comprehensive Policy and Procedure Manual. That's about to change, and we want YOU in the room when it happens.

We're looking for 3 Executive Members to team up with ARA's President and Vice President and build something that will guide this Association for years to come.

Here's what it takes:

✅ Current ARA Executive Member
✅ Ready to dive in and actively shape the SOPs
✅ A collaborative mindset and strong team energy
✅ Time and commitment to help build something truly professional

This isn't just a committee seat. It's a chance to leave your fingerprint on how ARA operates, grows, and succeeds moving forward.

Your policy binder won't defend you. Your habits will. 📣

Attorney Patrick Newman of Bassford Remele joins James McNeil for a straight talk episode.

Patrick came up through skip tracing and frontline collections before going into law. Now he defends recovery agencies.

He breaks down what happens when a claim gets filed, why credibility matters more than paperwork, and what makes an agency easier to defend.

Best takeaway? That video you're already recording is a coaching tool. Most agencies never use it that way.

Plus courtroom lessons, and why getting better never stops, whether it's law, recovery, or your golf game. ⛳

Plot twist: joining ARA just got a whole lot easier! 🎉

Right now and only through September 30, you can join the American Recovery Association for $1,200 instead of paying the normal full-year membership rate.

Prorated for the rest of the year. Then discounted again on top of that. 🙌

We've been at this for 60+ years as the world's largest association of recovery professionals, and this is the friendliest number we've put in front of new members all year.

Consider this your official invitation 👉 https://f.mtr.cool/heplhccefb

One click. That's all it takes! 🚨

Most cyberattacks on repo agencies don't start with a hacker in a hoodie. They start with a single email that looks totally legit... until it's not.

Once your inbox is compromised, criminals can email your lenders, forwarders, and clients as YOU. Requesting banking info. Sending fake invoices. Damaging relationships you've spent years building. 😬

The good news? You don't need a full IT department to protect your agency. Simple steps like MFA, verifying unexpected requests by phone, and a "stop and verify" policy go a long way.

Your agency's reputation is worth protecting. Read the ARA Technology Committee's full breakdown on spotting phishing attempts and locking down your accounts 👇

• A full agenda of education, training, and networking
• ARA Board Elections, members vote on 3 seats
• Relationship-focused connections you will use all year

• Lenders
• Registered sponsors and exhibitors

Not a member yet? Join at the special Convention rate of $1,200 and get full access.

STILL AVAILABLE
